Supersonic Racing team rider Luca Scassa will no longer be racing in the World Superbike championship next season, but will be switching to the World Supersport series and will be riding with ParkinGO Triumph BE1 Racing team.
While this may be surprising move by the Italian rider who has well impressed this year on a privateer Ducati, it could also been seen as a strategic move, because there are if the rumors that are floating around are true that Triumph is building a Superbike to enter the WSBK championship in 2012, Scassa could become part of this ambitious development project.
“I have been riding 1000cc bikes in recent years but I have experience of supersport racing from the Italian championship.
I am looking forward to riding the Daytona 675.
This will be my first experience of a three cylinder bike and I think that the extra torque will prove advantageous at some tracks.
BE1 Racing has ambitions to be at the very top and one of my motivations for signing is that I can see the desire to win in the eyes of Giuliano Rovelli .
It is important for me to be racing with a factory team again and I can see the great progress that Triumph has made in the championship over the past few years.
” said Scassa.
Chaz Davies has also re-signed for ParkinGO Triumph BE1 Racing next season.
